Chapter 115: Investigation
Mu Qiange looked at Xiao Qi's jade arm that was quickly exposed in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a touch of happiness in his heart, it was good to be a big official.
Then her hand touched Xiao Qi's snow-white arm and slid wantonly, and she couldn't help but secretly sigh that this little girl's hand was really comfortable to touch, and Xiao Qi continued to look at Mu Qiange's beautiful cheeks shyly.
A moment later, Mu Qiange immediately said loudly to Xiao Qi: "How old are you?" Xiao Qi replied in a low voice: "The slave is 22 years old this year. Ning looked at her and said, "Do you have a match?" Xiao Qi still said in a low voice: "The slave maid is not yet." ”
Mu Qiange laughed twice at Xiao Qi, and continued to eat on the side, she didn't care if Xiao Qi's hands were really burned. I was here just now, so naturally I want to get acquainted with the people here.
Xiao Qi rolled up his sleeves and waited carefully for the newcomer. Because she felt that this adult was very different from the adults she had seen in the past.
Mu Qiange was eating slowly, and at the same time, he was also testing Xiao Qi's patience, deliberately eating quickly and slowly, while Xiao Qi followed her rhythm and served wholeheartedly.
After lunch, Mu Qiange looked at Xiao Qi very satisfied, and said to Liu Wu beside him: "I like this girl very much, you go to the account room and get a few taels of silver to reward her, and she will be my personal girl in the house in the future." ”
Liu Wu hurriedly nodded and said to Mu Qiange: "Yes, son, I will go to the account room to get two pieces of silver." With that, he turned and walked out of the hall.
At this time, only Xiao Qi and Mu Qiange were left in the hall, and Mu Qiange said loudly to Xiao Qi: "You stand here and let Ben Gongzi hug him." Xiao Qi didn't speak, so he strode to Mu Qiange's side and let her hold him.
Mu Qiange hugged her, his hand touched Xiao Qi's waist, Xiao Qi's body suddenly trembled a little, and he said in his mouth: "Lord Ning can't, but now in the hall, if it is seen by others and spreads, it will not be good." ”
Mu Qiange smiled at Xiao Qi and said, "Teasing you and playing with you, this son is to see if you are obedient." After Xiao Qi heard this, he saluted Mu Qiange and whispered, "Of course Xiao Qi listened to Lord Ning's words. ”
Mu Qiange said to Xiao Qi with a bad look: "You came to my room that night?" Xiao Qi's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head, not daring to sing in Mu Qian.
The more Mu Qiange looked at her, the more funny he felt, and continued to joke with her: "Xiao Qi, don't be so shy, this son won't treat you badly." Xiao Qi's face became even more crimson at this time.
At this time, Liu Wu suddenly walked in from outside, bowed to Mu Qiange and whispered: "Ning Gongzi, I went to the account manager in the house just now, and said that you want to take the silver, but the account guy actually said that there is no silver in the house. ”
Mu Qiange's face suddenly changed after listening to Liu Wu's words, and he said angrily: "What, there is no silver, is this just an empty mansion?" No, I'm going to go and see if anyone has embezzled the silver taels. With that, he walked briskly out of the hall.
After arriving at the account room, he saw a middle-aged scholar about thirty years old keeping accounts, Mu Qiange opened his mouth and said loudly and angrily: "You say, how can there be no silver taels here, isn't it your private bag?" ”
When the middle-aged account man heard this, he quickly got up and saluted Mu Qiange, and then said tremblingly: "Lord Ning, you misunderstood, the little one doesn't have a private bag?" ”
Mu Qiange sat down on his chair angrily, and then continued to say to him loudly: "Then you tell Ben Gongzi what is going on, if you don't answer on time, Ben Gongzi will make you unable to eat and walk around!" Xiao Qi and Liu Wu immediately stood on both sides of Mu Qiange, waiting for the master's order.
The middle-aged account man turned to Mu Qiange, who was sitting on the chair, and continued to tremble and said: "Lord Ning is like this, this mansion was originally owned by a minister, and then he resigned and did not do it, and this mansion was abandoned, and we people have just arrived here in the past few days." ”
When Mu Qiange heard this, he frowned and continued to say loudly to the middle-aged account man: "You are not honest, are you, I asked you to say the silver, but you gave me a lot of money, when this son didn't dare to beat you, right?" ”
When the middle-aged account man heard this, he suddenly pounced and said loudly to Mu Qiange: "Lord Ning is wronged, you listen to me, here's the thing, after the adult left, the above didn't allocate much silver taels to us, just a dozen taels of silver, and also bought a meal and something for the adults to use, and the small one did not steal a penny or a tael." ”
Mu Qiange frowned and thought for a while, and also felt that the account guy in front of him didn't look like he was lying, but because he couldn't save face, he coughed lightly twice and said to him calmly: "I will naturally investigate this matter, you can get up." After that, he motioned to Xiao Qi next to him to help the account guy up.
Mu Qiange sat on the chair of the guy in the account room, thought for a long time, and continued to ask, "You said that according to my official rank, how much silver can be issued in a month?" ”
The middle-aged account man thought for a moment and replied slowly: "Lord Yining's official position has 20 taels of silver a month. Mu Qiange looked at him and nodded softly.
After a while, Mu Qiange suddenly stood up and walked briskly towards the hall in the Ning Mansion, and Liu Wu and Xiao Qi behind her also followed. After arriving at the hall, Mu Qiange looked at Liu Wu and said, "Qing'er, do you think my silver is too little?" ”
Liu Wu looked at Mu Qiange and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said: "The slave maid thinks that the son has a lot of money, and it's already okay." Hearing this, Mu Qiange looked at Xiao Qi again and asked, what do you think?
Xiao Qi thought for a while, and then said: "The slave maid is also Lord Juening, and she has a lot of silver, but what about our subordinates who also need silver as a subsidy every month, and they have to send it back to supplement the family?" ”
Mu Qiange nodded silently when he heard this, his eyes were full of sadness when he looked at her, and Liu Wu immediately glared at Xiao Qi angrily. Mu Qiange also noticed it, and whispered to Liu Wu: "Don't blame Xiaoqi, what she said is also the truth, as for this money, this son will definitely get it." ”
Xiao Qi whispered to Mu Qiange: "I didn't expect the adult to be so considerate of his subordinates, and the slave maid has met such a good Lord Ning." When Mu Qiange heard this, he looked at her snow-white little face and said jokingly: "Is Xiao Qiben really that good?" Then come over and let me continue to hug. ”
Listening to Lord Mu Qiange's words, Xiao Qi couldn't help but blush and said, "My lord, you hugged the slave family when you were eating!" ”
Mu Qiange smiled softly at Xiao Qi, that smile was so charming and moving, that he couldn't help but look at Xiao Qi in front of him.
Liu Wu coughed lightly next to her, in her opinion, the Ninth Master seemed to have changed since moving from the Xiangfu to this new Ning Mansion, this was a son she had never known, and it was also a Ninth Master who made her feel reborn.
Mu Qiange glanced at Liu Wu, who was coughing lightly next to him, and then said playfully: "Liu Wu, do you think this son is beautiful?" Liu Wu was stunned for a moment and then said: "The son is more beautiful than us women." ”
Mu Qiange Mu Qiange's eyebrows bent, and she smiled at Liu Wu so unbelievably, but she immediately said: "Liu Wu, you are becoming more and more able to speak, and you are full of praise for this son, but wait for this son to go out with important things, you should prepare first." ”
Liu Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, took a few steps forward and said, "Gongzi has to deal with the assassination of the emperor today." Mu Qiange's face changed, and he said solemnly: "Well, that's right, this matter must be investigated in detail today." ”
Liu Wu and Xiao Qi also felt nervous at the same time, this matter is related to Su Xiaoting, the king of the court, if this matter is done well, it will be beneficial to the son, and if it is not done well, it will kill him. Immediately, after the two of them saluted Mu Qiange in the hall, they both walked out of here to prepare for the son's trip.
Mu Qiange was silently thinking about something in the hall, Youxiang was the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mu Qiange found a trace of his memory of this family in the other half of Mu Soul, and they were actually not good to the Ninth Young Master.
After a while, she suddenly walked out of the hall quickly, full of anger, until she walked out of the Ning Mansion, at this time, Liu Wu and Xiao Qiya prepared a special carriage for Mu Qiange at the gate of the Ning Mansion.
Mu Qiange looked at this carriage that was not luxurious, and his heart warmed, the white horse in front of this horse was much better than the carriage that came to Ningfu before, at least it was very decent.
After a pause, she frowned, and said to Liu Wu and Xiao Qiya with a low face: "I can do this alone, you can stay in Ning Mansion first to help me sort out the housework, and wait for this son to come back." ”
Liu Wu and Xiao Qiya both bowed and saluted: "The slave and maid will obey the son's order, and they will definitely clean up the Ning Mansion properly." Mu Qiange nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, got up and got into the carriage.
The road was bumpy, and after about an hour had passed, Mu Qiange couldn't help but ask the coachman, "I heard that it is far away from the prison guard, and we have been walking for an hour, how long will it take to arrive?" ”
The coachman who was hurrying away with his whip replied in a deep voice: "Lord Ning is not far ahead, please don't be impatient." Mu Qiange thought for a moment, and then didn't answer.
A moment later, as the coachman said, the carriage arrived in front of the warden gently, Mu Qiange hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and survived, and the carriage was bumpy along the way, but she was aggrieved.
The Warden Department was a place where felons of the imperial court were imprisoned, and it was heavily guarded, with many guards, and occupied a very large area, so it could only be built on the far side of the capital.
Several guards at the gate looked at each other vigilantly when they saw someone getting off the carriage, and then walked quickly to Mu Qiange's side and asked loudly: "Who are you, who dare to come here to take in the suspects?" ”
I saw Mu Qiangeshen calmly, and replied to them unhurriedly: "I am the emperor's Qincha who investigated the case, and you all know about the emperor's assassination?" ”
